The solution balances (i) variance over the smallest achievable variance and (ii) a sensitivity component that captures bias rescaled by its smallest attainable value. (ii) only depends on parameters known ex-ante without requiring priors on the bias. It formalizes trade-off betw/ variance and bias.
